The Demand Distribution curve illustrates how a TV show’s popularity compares to the demand benchmark, which is a measure of the average demand across all titles. The curve is divided into performance buckets, ranging from “Below Average” to “Exceptional”. A show falls into one of these performance buckets depending on how many times more or less demand it has compared to the demand benchmark.
The show’s performance is market-specific, e.g. the same show can be in the “Average” range in the United States and in the “Good” range in France.
As an example, if a show has 9 times more demand than the demand benchmark, it falls in the “Outstanding” performance range; only 2.7% of all shows in the market reach this high level of demand.
Demand data provides valuable insights into a show's performance, audience engagement, and international appeal. For example, let's take the case of "Obi-wan Kenobi," a TV show set in the Star Wars universe. The show has an outstanding level of demand in Canada, sitting at 9.6 times the audience demand of the average show, and it has a travelability score that indicates exceptional international appeal.
Content valuation is an essential component of any content acquisition, and demand data can help with this task. Specifically, demand data can answer relevant content valuation questions such as "how much is my show worth?' or "what is the baseline value of a title?" The high demand for "Obi-wan Kenobi" in Canada indicates that the show has significant value to a platform targeting Canadian audiences, and it could also demonstrate high viewing potential in other regions worldwide, encouraging distribution and acquisition.
Demand data also helps tv executives to make decisions about which shows to acquire or produce. In the case of "Obi-wan Kenobi" as a series, executives can consider which of the show's elements make it such an engaging title for fans, and accordingly, optimize an upcoming production for even greater success. They could also choose to acquire additional content from the same genre as 'Obi-wan Kenobi' as data on the show's audience could prove valuable to identify taste clusters.
Using demand data, executives also can determine the show's ability to drive subscriptions, mitigate churn, and impact the rest of their catalog. Decision-makers should be interested in exploring spin-off opportunities, as the spin-off potential, or franchisability, of the show is outstanding, according to the Parrot Pulse. This insight showcases a potential market for expansion on an established and well-liked IP.
Finally, measuring audience demand can help entertainment companies create more effective marketing campaigns for new or upcoming releases, as it enables studying audience affinity, taste clusters, and viewer interests. The outstanding global demand for "Obi-wan Kenobi" reveals its appeal and cultural significance, providing details of its cultural relevance and advertising processes accordingly.
In summary, demand data can help executives make informed content decisions, acquisitions, and distribution decisions. These results emphasize the importance of analyzing a show's performance and audience engagement through measuring and interpreting audience demand.
